Preface: I tried potty training with Gavin about a month ago to no avail. We bought him the Cars potty seat, Diego and Cars underpants, even Cars wipes, etc. We went all out trying to pump him up and prepare him for potty training. First day he cried just putting the underpants on. Cried when it was "potty time!" even when I blew a train whistle and Sydney announced "it's potty time!" It was a battle to say the least and it was quite obvious that he was not ready yet. So, as hard as it was, I called it quits for the time being. I pride myself in remaining consistent with my kids and I felt like I was backing down...but I knew this was something I didn't want to push on him thereby making it even more difficult for us in the long run.
So, yesterday, with two weeks left of summer break I decided to try again. Here's the run-down so far:
July 30th, Day 1: 1 success on the potty (yay!), 2 accidents (or 3 if you count waking up wet from nap time), several attempts.
July 31st, Day 2 (so far....): 0 success on the potty, 2 outside accidents (woke up dry but wet his pull-up shortly after waking, so could be considered 3 accidents...ever the optimist ;))....5 attempts.
We shall see what the afternoon holds for us. I am really trying very hard to not get caught up in this and just let it ride...but I don't want to do anything to screw it up either! (gosh...aren't all of us moms like that with every.single.thing regarding our children?!)
With all of this said, he looks so incredibly adorable in his big boy underpants it is not even funny. I have loved watching his chubby little legs run around the house!
Stay tuned. :)
